Slotkin to Hegseth: Esper had โ€˜more guts and balls than youโ€™

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) had harsh words for embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday: President Trumpโ€™s previous Defense leader, Mark Esper, โ€œhad more guts and ballsโ€ than Hegseth because Esper refused to maim unarmed protesters, she said.

โ€œ[Esper] didnโ€™t accept the order,โ€ Slotkin, a former CIA analyst and Defense official, told Hegseth. โ€œHe had more guts and balls than you, because he said, Iโ€™m not going to send in the uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut isnโ€™t right.โ€

She doesn't mince words, does she?

Heard that. And it's a solid point.

All Hegseth could do was laugh. And she took him down a notch for doing so.
